“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Layla Taylor has a new love interest! Weeks after coming out as bisexual during a candid interview, the TV personality appeared to have confirmed who her new boo is in a new TikTok video.
Layla Taylor’s dating life has been a topic of conversation since the first season of “SLOMW” debuted on Hulu in 2024. Throughout the last four seasons, the mother of two has not only documented her divorce from Clayton Wessel, but she’s also dated Cameron Jolly and Mason McWhorter on camera.

On July 21, TikTok creator Kelsie Chesser posted a video set to a trending Beyoncé sound, with overlaid text that read, “When I slid into my girlfriends DM’s just hoping she was into girls.” Of course, “SLOMW” fans rushed to the comments to see whether she was talking about Taylor. However, they didn’t have to speculate for too long, considering Taylor commented, “Folded.”
Taylor recently shared a video of herself holding the hand of a woman off-screen. That video also featured overlaid text that shed more light on her newfound identity. “‘You’re glowing recently’ thanks I’m dating a woman now,” the text read. She even captioned the video, “Chivalry isn’t dead it’s w the lesbians.”
Layla Taylor Recently Came Out As Bisexual
According to a previous report from The Blast, Taylor recently came out as bisexual during an interview with Jay Shetty. During the conversation, the Hulu reality star said that she’s now “gay and bi,” confirming that she has romantic feelings for men and women.
Taylor told Shetty that she’s known about her feelings for women since she was a child, but she wasn’t able to act on them because of her upbringing. Over the last few years, though, Taylor has become more comfortable with who she is and said that she’d no longer live inside of a box. “I’ll be d-mned if I’m not able to be fully who I am,” she said.
Layla Taylor’s Breakup Helped Her Realize She Was Into Women
As mentioned above, Taylor has showcased her romantic relationships on camera over the last several years. In season 4 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” viewers saw Taylor struggling in her relationship with McWhorter, who voiced his concerns about dating Taylor because of her two small children.
While speaking with Shetty, Taylor confirmed that she and McWhorter ended things and even revealed that their split helped her realize she was into women. “Honestly, I went through a breakup at the beginning of this year, and I feel like for just a long period of my life, I was constantly living my life for other people,” she said.
“Whether that was being a mom or I was in a marriage at one point, I was married. And I just feel like I was always fulfilling other people around me. And it honestly just caused me to never really focus on myself and never be able to really just sit alone with who I am as a person… And I think honestly that breakup was like a blessing in disguise because I feel like now I’ve been fully able to just focus on Layla. And yeah, just focus on who I truly am.”

Taylor isn’t the only public figure who has recently opened up about being part of the LGBTQ+ community. According to The Blast, rock singer Caleb Shomo also came out as a “proudly gay man” this summer, sharing that it’s something he’s struggled with “for quite some time now.”
Caleb’s Wife, Fleur, Still Supports Him
Caleb’s wife of 14 years, Fleur Shomo, broke her silence on the news and said that while she was hurt by his revelation, she would still support him through thick and thin.
“Nobody will know anything about our marriage like we do. And no one can ever truly know what depths of love exist between two people unless they are those people,” she said. “I already miss it & my husband more than anything. Our story was a good one. And now it’s done.”
